Describe the relationships between induction, determination, and differentiation

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Induction is when a group of cells causes another group of cells to follow a certain
developmental pathway. Induction leads to determination, which is the process that
establishes a cell’s developmental fate to become a particular cell type. Once a cell is
determined, it differentiates to become that particular cell type, establishing a cell-specific
pattern.
